Top Radiator Repair Services — Colorado
Radiator Services on the Front Range of Colorado
When your vehicle is running, the engine is generating lots of heat that needs to be controlled in order to avoid damage to vital components under the hood. The cooling system in your vehicle is what helps to control the heat that is generated from your engine. The system circulates coolant through your vehicle’s engine and radiator to keep components lubricated and protected from excessive heat.
If the heat from your engine isn’t controlled, overheating can occur and internal parts can be damaged. At EAS Tire & Auto in Littleton, CO, our certified technicians are experienced and trained to repair cooling systems on all makes and models of vehicles.
Annual Cooling System Inspections for Radiator Maintenance
Our experts recommend a cooling system inspection once a year to ensure that it is working properly. Our complete visual inspection will include:
- Checking components of your cooling system and fluid levels
- Looking for leaks
- Checking parts of your engine for corrosion
If needed, our experts will perform a cooling system flush and fill to replace old coolant and clean components to keep fresh, clean coolant running throughout your vehicle. A little bit of maintenance goes a long way in preventing costly repairs and severe damage down the road.
Diagnosing Cooling System and Radiator Problems
A faulty cooling system can sometimes stem from a blown head gasket or a radiator leak. Our experts can determine the exact cause of the issue with a cooling system pressure test. This test helps us simulate the engine getting hot and allows us to see which component is failing.
Signs You May Have a Coolant Leak
Coolant leaks are one of the most common issues behind an overheating engine, but they can often go unnoticed without a few key warning signs. Here’s what to watch for:
- Visible Fluid Leaks: Bright green, orange, or pinkish puddles under your vehicle may indicate a coolant leak. These fluids often have a slightly sweet smell and are usually found under the front of the car near the radiator or engine.
- Low Coolant Levels: If you find yourself frequently topping off your coolant reservoir, it could point to a slow leak in the system—even if there are no obvious puddles underneath your car.
- Engine Overheating: A rising temperature gauge or regular overheating may signal that your radiator or coolant system isn’t maintaining proper pressure due to a leak.
It isn’t always easy to know if you’ve got a bad radiator, but our skilled technicians can help you get your coolant circulating properly again.
What Happens When the Radiator Fails
When your radiator starts to fail your vehicle’s cooling system will struggle to keep engine temperatures at a reasonable level. If you notice your vehicle’s temperature gauge reading unreasonably high, it is important to seek help quickly. If you notice the temperature gauge on your dash reading too high, you should go to a technician to have your radiator and cooling system checked for faults.
Technicians will start by checking the radiator for cold spots, verifying that the system flows well and then they will inspect the engine bay for leaks. Technicians can also test the overall temperature and pressure in the coolant system to confirm that your engine is running hot.
